Very Cool!!!

Please don't spend money on this.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I am reviewing this movie primarily in response to gushing reviews of the movie and endorsements of the director that I believe are disingenuous and may mislead the innocent film-goer into seeing a movie that is awful.A previous review of this movie that I wrote has been deleted based on a user complaint. I'm not sure why, and no explanation was offered. Taken together with the non-credible reviews of this movie, I'm wondering if the fix is in here. Is it?Losing Control is a bad movie, as 3 others and myself uniformly agreed after we saw it at a promotional screening in Cambridge, MA. We're all scientists, and are generally nice people who would like to encourage new film talent. We went to see this after all, right? In my now-deleted review I covered in more detail the problems with this movie. Now, I will be more brief. Highlights of the problems with the movie include:-- The plot is absurd, unbelievable and not particularly interesting.-- The humor in this comedy is typically not funny, and at best it's not very funny.-- The movie is constructed principally from clichés: women, men, scientists, Jews, marriage -- There are innumerable stereotypes deployed throughout, many of which are really quite offensive. Just to mention a few, the movie insults gays, men, scientists and Chinese, and many others.-- The scientific premises of the movie are outrageous and unrealistic. This is especially and unpleasantly surprising considering that the director has a PhD in a scientific field.As essentially a crowd-sourced venture, IMDb is vulnerable to manipulation. It's regrettable, and it provokes some wonder about the role of this film's writer/producer/director in this. I suppose it's naive of me to be surprised about such things.In any case, I write to warn those who are simply looking for a good movie. Good luck!

Had a wonderful few hours watching this funny movie about trying to scientifically prove romance. How does a scientist prove love? This sweet movie involves loves, questions about love, quirky characters, espionage and a few hours of great laughs. The main character, Sam, is on her way to defend her Phd, but along the way hits a few bumps in the road and begins to question her life and choices. Is Ben a 'keeper,' should she continue to defend her scientific theory, is Leslie's love advice good practice, and will her mother's hat work?Go see the movie and find out!

This being the director's first full length film, I was concerned about the quality. I shouldn't have been. Great acting, fun plot and wonderful characters. I enjoyed it from beginning to end!The only thing I would have liked to see was more of the main male character. Very handsome and sexy but there were basically no bod shots of him.I also appreciated the Jewish humor and small little details added to the film. I'd probably watch it again just to explore some of the details further.Hopefully this film will get a broader release. I saw it at a special showing. Don't miss this little jewel.

Losing Control was a fun-filled romantic adventure that delves into the goals and desires of a talented, eccentric, and endearing scientist who experiments with love! The characters capture the universal realities of all our extended families…the movie will capture your heart.The movie is well written, witty, and has real multi-faceted characters that we all know and love. It takes place in Boston as a Harvard scientist grapples with furthering her professional career versus taking the leap of faith that love requires of us all. In this process, she sends both herself and her beau through a soul search that helps them find out who they each are. The movie presents comic relief with the funny Jewish parents, the moonlighting co-worker, and the string of romantic misfits that enter the story as well. See this movie for sure...You will not be sorry!
